Course objectives
At the end of the course students should be able to: (1) work in the field as team of students (here in 4 groups under professional supervision of all seminar tutors); (2) interpret the results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats; (3) submit all ascertained data well documented in their group final reports; (4) make presentation and eventualy also defence of a group final report; (5) identify all selected (by tutors) important representatives of vascular plants and invertebrate animals; (6) integrate theoretical knowledge from different branches of biology subjects already passed (esp. botany and zoology) with obsevations in the field.
Syllabus
  • 1st day: opening of field practises, accomodation, organizational meeting; begining of work in particular habitats (placing of traps etc.), excursion onto surroundings with demonstation of important vegetation units etc.; identification and preparation of collected material.
  • 2nd day: group work on particular habitats (rotation of groups); identification and preparation of collected material.
  • 3rd day: group work on particular habitats (rotation of groups); identification and preparation of collected material.

Teaching methods
Field Work in Botany and Zoology is carried out as team work of students in 4 (3-5) groups under professional supervision of all seminar tutors - each group is concentrated on one selected habitat (wood, meadow, field, fishpond, stream, etc.); interpretations of results ascertained by means of combination of all used methods on all studied habitats (!) will be documented in group final reports.
Assessment methods
Participation on the field practices (5 days); active attemp documented by group final reports; successful passing of examination - practical idetifying of vascular plants and invertebrate animals.
